Driving class A in winter conditions
Just wondering how many class A owners drive in winter road conditions such as snow and ice. Do you all carry chains? Wife and I are penciling out our retirement which includes class A and up north ...

Lot's of great info, thanks. Even though I am CA born and raised, I consider myself as safe as you can driving a 4 wheeler with 4x4 in the snow. When I have asked about cold weather packages in MHs, the salesmen usually give me some sort of BS answer, like "they are all made to handle cold weather." I did not realize that MHs had R values like stick home insulation, so that is very helpful info.
A lot also depends on your comfort level. Since we are both from Florida, we prefer to leave the Sunshine State when the snowbirds arrive. Deep snow usually means that I may wear socks with my slip on loafers. For us, comfort in our coach is anything in the upper 50's and warmer, day or night. An electric blanket is there if we need it. Our dog is also a mountain dog so snow and cold temps are great for her. If you or your wife require upper 70's for Winter comfort in your house, then you may have to invest in some auxiliary heaters for your RV. You may also need extra closet space if you pack a lot of Winter gear.
